My wife Di and I, along with our dog Capper, decided to have a picnic Christmas Day lunch this year as we were spending the day by ourselves. The weather was nice, sunny and about 23 degrees C, so we headed down to Cygnet in southern Tasmania.

We had our lunch by the side of a creek that leads into Port Cygnet. This spot is very close to where we had Christmas Day lunch the first year we were in Tasmania. Mind you, the kids were 10 and 7 then. Now they are 29 and 26!

One thing that we thought unusual, practically no seabirds around. But we were well entertained by the locals that were there!

There are a few types of Huntsman spiders. This one is known as the Social Huntsman as they tend to live in groups. So that's two in the last few days. One inside the house, and this one outside. Be afraid. Be very afraid. (Sorry, that's for the benefit of number one son!).

These guys are the largest huntsman in Australia and can live for up to two years.

About Me

A bit about me - I am a mineral collector and artist living in Ballarat, Victoria. I also get a big kick out of photography - digital has changed many of our lives! I have a wife, two 'kids', and a dog, and a beautiful granddaughter.
